Last week, I took a chance on a minimal listing for a Pentax LX and FA-1 finder that was listed with this discription:
Listing Title: PENTAX LX BODY with VF in BOX
Description: This is a very clean goood working order in open box PENTAX LX body only. Buyer to pay shipping charges of $18.00 to continental US, I accept PAYPAL , Money order or cashier check.
Picture: Stock pic of low quality.
Seller Feedback Rating: 100%
It was listed with buy it now for $189 plus shipping so I took a chance. What I received was a LX body new in the box with a matching new FA-1 finder. Both items are in all of the original packaging, brand new, never been used, including all accessories and manuals.
I am in a quandry now because I wanted a good LX to use and enjoy but what I received is, I believe, a collectors item. The seller confirmed to me that the camera has never been used and sat in a shop unsold. I can't bring myself to take the protective plastic sheet off of the film platten and load a roll of film.
What should I do with this beauty?
